I wanted to take the mackerel sky over Lake Galena, and had to shoot into the sun. It wasn't that dark at Peace Vallley this afternoon.
Mallard on the flooded lake
Kyaker
The path had many walkers and bikers.
The eagle was a long way off, and I just had my pocket Canon with me.
Friday was a lovely day to be out, especially strolling along Big Oak Walk.
Some visitors enjoying the dog park
Garter snake on Loop Trail
Geo-thermal wells being dug at "E".
The lake was very high, and though the day was beautiful there were no birds to be seen. A lovely spot for a walk after our Big dinner.
This was as far as we went
There were no birds to be seen , but this was the afternoon.
As we were leaving we saw some of the usual suspects -
A buck, and many more deer
Canada geese
There are flowers everywhere to help put us into a festive spirit.
There are still roses blooming outside!
I hope you can read the poster which tells how our pastry chef won his blue ribbon in sugar sculpture!!!!! (Click on it to enlarge)
This sharp-shinned hawk knocked himself out when he made the kill of the cedar waxwing. There was a loud thud, and both birds were lying on the sidewalk. I could see the hawk was still breathing, dashed home for the camera, and he was still there when I returned. He finally flew off, but without the cedar waxwing. I am calling it a "he" because it seems small.
Yesterday I set out to clock the mileage for the loop walk using only pavement, no gravel. But this is what I encountered.
Today, new pavement!!!
Mileage 1.25, I think.
Just some photos taken from the bus window as we were on our way to the Philadelphia Orchestra. This first one - How many times do you see a stretch limo stop at a pawn shop?
On Sunday afternoon at 3, we attended a concert of instrumental Latin American music with Emilliano Pardo-Tristan and the Cachasa Ensemble. It was delightful!
Woodmere Gallery looks like a good place to take children also.
